Welcome to York, 97km from Perth and WA's oldest inland town.
Enjoy the sunset on Mount Brown, stroll along the banks of Avon River, marvel at the historic
architecture, checkout the wildflowers during wildflower season, enjoy a meal at one of the many
cafes and visit a range of local attractions including the York Motor Museum and Old Goal and
Courthouse.
With so much to see and do, it's no wonder it's a popular spot with tourists and WA locals. And You
have the opportunity to take advantage of this with the sale of the York Motel.
Make your own escape to the country and run the business yourself or install a manager.
The property includes the main residence with lounge/TV room, modern kitchen/dining area, three
bedrooms and one bathroom. The reception area is also under the main roof.
Outside there is large alfresco area with café blinds for year-round comfort, a wood-fired heater,
built-in barbecue kitchen, spa and leads to a private garden.
Guests, and yourself, will enjoy exploring the lovely established gardens with shady sitting areas, a
gazebo and barbecue area, lavender beds, fruit trees, playground for the kids and vintage art
installations.
There are six self-contained one-bedroom, one-bathroom units adjacent to the main residence. They
sleep up to three people, are airconditioned and include TVs, bar fridges, microwaves, toasters,
kettles and crockery and cutlery.
A separate building includes another one-bedroom, one bathroom unit and a disability accessible
two-bedroom, one-bathroom unit. This unit sleeps up to five people, includes a fully equipped
kitchen set at wheelchair height, an accessible bathroom with room for a hoist, outdoor dining suite,
barbecue and patio off the main bedroom.
Each unit has its own name and is individually styled.
There is plenty of parking for guests and private parking for the owner/manager. There are also well-
equipped laundry facilities to service the house and motel, parking for caravans and trucks, storage
area for garden maintenance equipment and a large powered shed/workshop with an office space
(currently a music room) and off-street access. The shed's office is airconditioned and has wifi
connected.
The business opportunity
The York Motel is number one on Tripadvisor for York and has a 9.1 customer rating. It is the place to
stay when you come to York and attracts a variety of guests from families, singles, corporate groups
and workers on the road.
In particular, there is ample room to park and turn trucks, which is a great feature for truckies
passing through and staying overnight. Easy access to keys during the evening makes it easy to cater
to late night arrivals.
The owners close the facilities and take holidays several times a year, so it runs at around 70 per
cent occupancy, but it can be run year round if you choose. And while there are eight units at
present, the 4,268sqm site can take up to 26 units and you have the potential to expand the
business, subject to the relevant approvals.
As the property is set on a corner block you already have multiple entry points and you could add
drive through access to the high street.
To the rear of the property is a compound with water and power connected, where a caravan can be
parked if you have family or friends drop by. You could speak to the council about using this for extra
income-producing accommodation.
The motel will be sold as a going concern with all plant and equipment. Financials are available on
request.
The current owners are willing to provide a handover and training.
